Nike Air Vortex Vintage (Imperial Blue/Black)

Nike’s V-Series has made a welcome return this year, with the Vengeance, Vortex and Venture all making a come back with a variety of make-ups that also included an updated and modern take on the Venture.

First released back in the mid ’80s, the Vortex is another fine example of why Nike became so great. The comfort, support and modern styling was a cut above the rest and is a formula that the brand has utilised since day one. This release gets the vintage treatment, making for some retro aesthetics and classic styling. The use of imperial blue provides an ’80s look with elements such as the vintage looking outsole and sand coloured panelling also adding to that nostalgic mix. The material choice is also a classic combination, with suede and mesh both used on the upper.
